Description
1791 Lafayette Constituent Assembly Deputy Obverse Trial. White metal, 35 mm. Fuld LA.1791.8. AU-55 (PCGS).
Plain edge. By Rambert Dumarest. Struck at Soho by Boulton and Watt for the Monneron Freres, Paris. A fascinating piece, seemingly struck cliche-style on a splash of molten tin and then trimmed to near perfect roundness. The back retains some of the paper backing fibers, and the obverse periphery shows some remaining excess metal outside of the outer rim. The surfaces are even and appealing deep pewter gray with excellent visual appeal. Some hairlines are present, scattered marks including several on the cheek and into the left obverse field. Were it not for the previous piece, we'd have assumed this was unique.
From the Richard Margolis Collection. Earlier from Christopher Eimer, October 1986.
Estimate: $500
